The utilization of 3D scanning and reverse engineering techniques has revolutionized quality control practices across various industries. These technologies play a pivotal role in accurately assessing and documenting the dimensional and geometric attributes of manufactured components. Reverse engineering complements 3D scanning by enabling detailed analysis and reconstruction of complex geometries, facilitating defect identification and optimization of manufacturing processes. The synergy between these methodologies not only enhances the accuracy of dimensional inspections but also supports rapid prototyping and iterative design improvements. Moreover, the ability to compare scanned data against CAD models or historical records ensures conformity to design specifications and regulatory standards. In this paper, the dimensional inspection results of a part produced through a special process - plastic injection molding are presented. The part has been made from a blend of ABS and polyamide. Material plasticization occurs in the machine chamber at a temperature of 200 °C, with the injection process conducted at a pressure of 200 bars. The parts were manufactured using a multi-cavity mold and cooled together with the mold after molding. Post-cooling, the parts underwent dimensional inspection to assess compliance with technical requirements. The dimensional inspection results were presented in the form of color-coded deviation maps.
